Graduates who supplement their
high school education with a special-
ized business training, get a practical
knowledge of business and how to
serve it efficiently. Thus, they pre-
pare for good starting positions which
pay well from the very beginning and
which give them an opportunity to use
their high school training.
You can make your high school ed-
ucation pay you, too. It can be the
foundation for a successful career in
business if you supplement it with a
practical business training.
Those high school graduates who make the greatest progress in the shortest
time start their business training with the least delay. There is no waiting — no
drifting. They chart their course early. They strike out boldly and directly. It
is the way of business — and successful men and women.
If you want to give your high school education a chance, call, write or
phone for information. It is free. See what our specialized business training
has done for others. See what it can do for you.

PROGRESS
Until the fall of 1929 it had been the custom of II. II. % stu-
dents to publish a school magazine that was issued quarterly. The
final number included photographs and activities of the graduating
Class together with the commencement orations and accounts of the
other senior functions.
With the introduction of the Red and White as a weekly news-
paper in 1929, however, matters changed. With graduation only a
few months away, members of the class of 1930 became concerned
with the prospect of having no permanent record of high school
days. The result was that for the first time in its history, Rutland
High School's seniors issued an annual.
Another year has passed. Again comes June and another group
of young men and women bid farewell to the "big red schoolhouse."
We of the Archive staff feel that we have edited a worthwhile vol-
ume that will bring renewed pleasure in years to come. Our especial
contribution to the progress in this direction is the issuance of one
hundred or more copies of this yearbook bound in leather, Truly,
w a thing of beauty is a joy forever."
IN APPRECIATION
The senior class keenly appreciates every contribution from par-
ents, faculty and friends to the success of these years in high school.
The Archive staff wishes to express its sincere thanks to Princi-
pal Leslie 0. Johnson, Miss Marie W. Johnson and R, Bl Rogers for
their untiring efforts as faculty advisers, to the students for their
generous support, and to all others who haVe cooperated to make
this book a success,

who have worked diligently and grasped worth-while opportunities
offered during these four years of our lives fully appreciate the value
of a high school training. It has provided a background of general
knowledge which will prove invaluable for future success.
Our fundamental training is a treasure reserve upon which to
draw in after years. The more we have put into it, the more we will
be able to withdraw. The less we learn in our early years, the more
we must learn in the later years.
There is a very direct connection between knowledge and success.
Education has money value according to its degree of completeness,
A little knowledge has little value. The more we know, the more
easily can we attain success in any line of endeavor, other things
being equal.
Henceforth, our courses are divergent and varied. Some will
continue their education in higher institutions of learning, a second
group has decided to go to work, and still others are undecided as to
which choice would lead to a more worth-while future. Suffice it to
say, however, that as we conclude four happy years spent together
in hijrh school we go forth determined to put to the best advantage
our assets, ever to decrease our liabilities, and ever to look back with
pleasure on the days spent 'neath the Red and White banner at I:.

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS
The class of 1931, whicli only four short years ago, entered the
portals of the Rutland High School, is now on the threshold of a new
life. These four years have stimulated us with enthusiasm and de-
termination to forge ahead so that through our progress we may re-
flect credit upon our school, upon our parents, and upon ourselves.
We might well ask the question, "What is Education?" It is
generally agreed by modern educators that education is training for
"social efficiency/ 1 Any individual who is "socially efficient" is
capable of meeting successfully the responsibilities and opportuni-
ties that belong to him as a member of society. First of all, he is
physically competent. Next, if he is to be an asset and not a liability
to society, he should be able through some vocation to be somewhat
more than self-supporting. Then, as a member of a home group, or
as a citizen of his community, his state, and his nation, his actions
are moral, public-spirited and efficient. He has learned, also, to use

his leisure time in wholesome ways that add to his own happiness and
to that of those with whom he conies in contact.
Our school has sought to bring home to us these truths, and
we are grateful for the lessons which though at times, seemed so
tedious, were really intended to help us to become useful members
of society.
After leaving these sacred halls of learning, we shall be called
upon to do some of the things that have been done before, but we
shall be expected to do them better. We shall have to saturate our
minds with ideals which will prompt us to do new things for the
betterment of mankind. In other words, we shall find new values
in scientific training, in human skill, in accuracy, in thoroughness in
doing all things, fully, clearly, squarely and above all, honestly. But
physical fitness alone is not sufficient; more trained minds are need-
ed to help solve the great problems that need to be solved at this tinir
of economic instability.
Don't be discouraged or don't feel disgraced in honest failure.
The disgrace lies in giving up. Your true success lies within you.
No man can take it from you nor give it to you. If, at the end of
your work, you can say to yourself that you have not been content
to drift along, that you have given all that is in you, then you have
been a success, no matter what the world may think or say.
Therefore, let us not forget the citizens of Rutland, our princi-
pal, teachers, and our parents who have guided us through these four
happy years. As a tribute to those who have so willingly and un-
selfishly aided us during our days of preparation, let us, fellow class-
mates of 1931, go out from this beloved school into the days of
June — of the year — and of our lives with a determination to make
this world a better place in which to live*

at my disposal were dated between 1907 and 1910, I have assumed
this period to be representative of early athletics in Rutland High

In 1903 Judge Julius A. Willcox was vice-principal and one of
his duties was to serve as coach* During that year he directed the
football and baseball teams at the fair grounds.
For the two ensuing years, football was completely cut out.
However, interest was renewed in L9n7 by a gentleman who deserves
much credit Tor the support and advancement of athletics in Rut-
land, In that year, Judge Harvey R. Kingsley donated a cup to l>e
given to the winners of an inter-class football series.
It is interesting to note that only thirty-five candidates report-
ed for their respective class teams at the beginning of the cup series,
so it can be seen that substitutes played a very small part in those
days.
The winning Sophomore team challenged and played the St.
Peters school and went down to inglorious defeat by the score of
38-0. The Herald referred to this as a game between two school
teams but the only contest that a Rutland High School team played
with the Parochial school was a baseball game in the spring of 1906
and that game, the high school won.
The Athletic Association formed in 1906 was reorganized in 1907
and placed on a stronger foundation financially.
With Charles E. Novak as manager and E. Per Lee Smith as
coach* Baxter Hall was fitted out for basketball and games were
scheduled with the teams of several high schools, Judge Harvey U.
Kingsley outfitted the team with six uniforms and a new basketball.
The team ended its season practically on the rocks financially;
the net proceeds were one dollar and eighty-five cents. However, the
Athletic fund was increased when the school hoard, at the sugges-
tion of the President of the board, voted a sum of $40 to the Asso-
ciation.
The Spring of 1907 saw the beginning of an event of the utmost
interest. This was the Baseball Fait held at Parish Hall, May 1 and
2. It proved to be a great success, for between four and five hundred
dollars was raised for the team.
Nineteen hundred and eight saw the formation of a school foot-
ball team. Early in the fall the team tackled Black River Academy
of Ludlow. At the end of the actual playing time Rutland led 14-11
but the referee refused to call time and the game did not end until

it became dark. This was not the first time such a thing had hap-
pened for in 1898 the school team, playing a nearby town, played
until darkness stopped the game. The story was that the referee had
a girl in the stand cheering for the town team, and, the official wish-
ing to please his lady love, made the boys play until they couldn't
see the ball. However, it availed our opponents nothing and Rutland
won lx>th games.
On Washington's Birthday the high school basketball team
swamped the Boys' Club 40-20, The lack of support may be seen
when the paper reported that there were only twenty persons in
attendance.
Under the managership of Edmund P, Shaw the baseball team
played a schedule of fourteen games. The second annual fair was
a great success and provided the team with the necessary funds. It
was dining this time that the now famous aviator "Casey" Jones at-
tended high school and was one of the best athletes, in the state.
As can be seen, athletics in Rutland High were rather hit or
miss until about 1916. In that year Harold L O'Brien became coach
ol" the high school teams and brought Rutland up among the lead-
ing schools of the state.
Although I have not spoken of track, it, nevertheless, under the
direction of Judge Kingsley, came into prominence about 1920, when,
principally by the endeavors of Maurice Bellerose, the state track
crown remained in Rutland for several years.
The football team of 1924 was particularly strong. It won the
state title and lost only to Haverhill, Mass., in a post-season game
l>ef ore a crowd of 10,000 persons.
The best basketball records of recent years were contributed by
the '24 and '28 quintets, The former team led by "Bedeke" Eeilerose,
won the annual Southern Vermont Tournament and was runner-up for
the state title in Burlington. Later in the New England Tournament,
Rutland was beaten by Rogers High, the ultimate winners, by one
basket. In 1928 the basketball team after a very poor season came
through unexpectedly in the State Tournament, As representatives
of" Vermont they Went to Chicago and there performed very credit-
ably.
In the Spring of 1924 the last baseball fair was held. This event
had been an annual affair since 1907,
The present Athletic Association was formed in 1925 and un-
like previous associations it has continued from year to year.

Coach O'Brien resigned in 1929 and his place was taken by
EUery R. Purdy who has kept high school teams on the same high
level as his predecessor. One of his teams, by trouncing Middlebury
6-0 fittingly celebrated the opening of the new athletic field. In a
brief ceremony before the game, former Gov. John E. Weeks of-
ficially dedicated the field.
The basketball team also won its first game in the new gym,
beating Bennington High in a very close game 13-12.
Rutland now has the finest athletic equipment in the state and
every boy has an equal opportunity to make a team,
In closing, I wish to give a very brief summary of the four years
that the class of 1931 has been in high school.
We have won five state Championships, tied for two others and
were runners-up in still another.
We may feel sure that our school has made decided progress in
the field of sport and trust that the spirit of good will, loyalty, and
sportsmanship will continue through the years to come.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF GIRLS' ATHLETICS IN UHE HIGH
SCHOOL DURING THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
Five years ago, when the Rutland High School was situated on
(enter street at the present site of the Meldon building, the number
of Rirls participating in athletics was comparatively small. Why?
There was no gymnasium that could he used for girls' basketball; no
field lor hockey, track events or inter-class baseball games; no ath-
letic equipment and no financial means to purchase the equipment de-
sired. In other words, organized play was impossible.
The School Board, realizing the need for a supervisor of girls'
athletics, provided a coach, under whose guidance interest was great-
ly increased.
Under the new coach a hiking club was formed and a total of
fifty-eight miles was covered on scheduled hikes.
Through the kindness of the Rutland Rotary Club, in donating
fcheii field on North street for use by the high school, it was possible
to have field hockey and track.
In the Fall field hockey was organized and the three upperclasses
Wi -iv represented by teams. Conditions had improved but were not

then as they should have been because the upperclassmen had their
school session in the forenoon while the first year students were com-
pelled to attend their studies after dinner, thus making it impossible
for the Freshmen to organize a Field Hockey team.
A large squad reported for varsity basketball and for the first
time the Rutland High School was represented by a girls' basketball
sextet which entered into competition with other Vermont school
teams and concluded with a very successful season. The Community
House gymnasium was rented for a period of twenty weeks, during
which time a series of inter-class basketball games was played by
members of the four classes.
In the Spring the four classes of the school were represented at
a track meet.
During the year the School Board appropriated money and the
enthusiastic girls raised sums of money by the sale of novelties, candy
and Christmas cards. The Parent-Teachers 1 Association paid for the
girls' basketball uniforms that were used by members of the school
team.
Since the high school students have been located in their new
building on Library avenue, Physical Education has been introduced
for the girls as well as the hoys.
A squad of seventy-four girls reported for their class field hockey
teams this fall. Practice was held on the space allotted the girls and
a series of games between the four classes was run off.
Varsity basketball for the girls was dropped two years ago upon
the introduction of an intra-mural program which makes it possible
for more girls to play basketball during the season. This idea has
caused considerable enthusiasm among the high school girls and gives
them encouragement to keep trying no matter how poor they may
consider themselves. One hundred eighty girls answered the call of
Coach Willis for home room basketball teams this year. After the
home room contests were finished ten girls from each class were
chosen to represent their class in an inter-class tournament.
In February six representatives from five different schools in
the vicinity of Rutland participated in a Basketball Play Day held in
the high school gymnasium.
A novel Point System of Awards was introduced this year by
which a girl with five hundred and fifty points is awarded a class
numeral and if she can earn seven hundred and fifty points she wins a
coveted school "R."
Points are given the girls for posture and sportsmanship, both
in the classroom and on the athletic field. Points for leadership are

based upon a girl's general assistance after school and whether or not
she has been elected to act as captain or manager of one of her class
teams. Hygiene, hiking and athletic achievement, consisting of
dashes and distance throwing, always play an important part in this
new award system.
With the introduction of this award system eight girls from the
Junior and Senior classes were chosen to form a group known as the
"(lids' Leaders Corps/' This organization assisted in refereeing bas-
ketball games between the home rooms, acted as hostesses to the girls
from the different schools who came here to participate in sports* and
gave general assistance in after school activities.
Inter-class baseball was played on the athletic field this Spring
for the first time.
Play Days were started here at Rutland last year. We were one
of the first high schools in the state to inaugurate this custom. As
we have intra-mural athletic activities we missed meeting the girls
from other schools and so began our invitation Play Days for the
other girls in the high schools in Rutland County. These Play Days
are not for competition. One girl from each school ^lays on each
team, in this way all the schools represented play with each other
lather than against each other.
But then, should we measure the progress of girls' athletics only
through the number of girls participating in various sports? Cer-
tainly not! On the athletic field a girl not only increases her ath-
letic achievement but learns the true meaning of leadership, depend-
ability, and above all* sportsmanship. She tries to fashion her char-
acter accordingly. Are not those qualities some that constitute a
strong character and a genuine personality?
Isn't it strange
That princes and kings*
And clowns that caper
In sawdust rings,
And common people
Like you and me
Are builders of Eternity?
Each is given a set of tools,
A shapeless mass, a book of rules,
And each must make
'Ere life is flown,
A stumbling block
Or a stepping stone.

ROBERT T. STAFFORD
THE VALUE OF ATHLETICS
Athletics are of value to every person. They defeat the lower
instincts to which we are subject and bring the higher, finer types
into prominence. Athletics lengthen the life span, build up the body
and speed up and clarify the functions of the brain. Of course
temperance in athletics must be exercised, for over-indulgence has, in
u majority of cases, proved destructive,
The Olympic games of the ancient Greeks are the first on record
and they show the great antiquity of organized sports. The Greeks
lealized what a tremendous value existed in physical accomplish-
ment. The Greek who was successful in the Olympics received the
highest honors which the state could offer. Later the Romans, who
adopted the Greek games along with the rest of their civilization, in-
dulged in physical exercise without the moderation which was the
ideal of Greek philosophy.
During the Medieval Period athletics found their expression in
the jousts and tourneys among the various factions. After the
fifteenth century interest in sports died entirely. It shortly sprang

up again among the Anglo-Saxons, but vemuined dormant in the
Latins until the beginning of the twentieth century.
The recent revival of the ancient Olympic games has been the
result of the realization of a few, of the tremendous value which lies
therein, a value beyond the conception of many people. There is no
manner in which finer ^presentation of each nation of the globe
could he brought together, than by international competition in
athletics, It is a call answered by the thoroughbreds of every land.
Such representatives leave a fine impression and promote a friendly
feeling as surely as any diplomatic efforts do.
Athletics are pursued today, in some form or other, by every
person, in fact the value of athletics is so universally recognized that
physical exercise is a large factor in our everyday life.
Athletics may he divided into two classes, professional and ama-
teur, The basis of distinction lies in their manner of organization.
Professional games have, of necessity, become forms of business con-
ducted for gain, but even so possessing far greater opportunities for
sporting rivalry. The most popular sport of the so-called professional
class within the United States is baseball; it's popularity fills for-
eigners with never ceasing wonder. The United States has two major
leagues and a number of smaller ones and enormous sums are spent
annually in hiring players, maintaining grounds, and erecting stands.
Sueh expenses of course necessitate heavy gate receipts which add
a slightly unpleasant taint to the game.
Contests in amateur sports on the other hand, are conducted
without thought of pecuniary gain. They are enjoyed as a spectacle
and practised for the physical benefits of the players. Amateur
athletics are, as I have said, indulged in by nearly every person.
Amateurs do not play for hire, but for pleasure and the physical ben-
efits derived therefrom. Certain ideals of sportsmanship are cherish-
ed. It is a point of honor to be a good loser, a characteristic which
is a very great asset to the personality of any person. Amateur ath-
letic events are arranged between all groups from schools, athletic
clubs, and colleges to countries. Rules have been standardized and
regularity promoted.
Football is the most popular organised amateur sport of the
United States; cricket and lacrosse of England; the latter being their
national game. Recently football has come under the fire of criticism
due to over-specialization because of the desire to produce winning
teams. If such an evil exists, steps are already being taken to remedy
it.

There is a host of popular sports familiar to every one among
which we find golf, tennis, track, basketball and baseball. Swimming
is more widely indulged in than any other sport.
The human body follows the universal law, that, it functions best
under best conditions. Famous doctors concur in saying that the best
way to insure these conditions is through regular exercise. The period
in which we pass from childhood to early maturity, has a tremendous
bearing upon our later lives. Our bodies are either built up to stand
the strain of some fifty years of useful existence or left in a condition
where they soon succumb to the strain to which they are subjected.
Habits and traits are formed which will either make us or destroy us
in the future.
Along both of these channels physical exercise is the surest route
to success. The habit of quick thinking is formed, an essential in
facing the swiftly varying conditions and crises of later life.
Many great brains, essential to public advancement have been
lost in their prime through the failure of the bodies which support
them. Many moi-e which have been in danger have been saved by
physical exercise. A famous example of the value of athletics is
found in the life of Theodore Roosevelt who could not have reached
maturity but for his determination and participation in athletics. lie
built up his puny body until it not only withstood the strain of the
Spanish-American War, but even the wear and tear of the Presidency
of the United States.
Robert Louis Stevenson is a man who might have done far more
for the world if he had not been cut off by the death of his body.
Regular exercise could have saved him for several years.
We are born that we may be of service to our fellow men and
that we may, in some small way, advance a race which has been
blessed by the Almighty. To render these services we must live be-
yond childhood and we must have bodies which are in the best of con-
dition to aid our minds. Athletics are neeessaiy, to help us fulfill our
destinies, to be of the greatest service to our fellow men, and to secure
Lo ourselves the greatest blessings which life may bestow.

LEISURE AND LIVING
Since leisure is such a necessary factor hi our crowded lives to-
day, we may well pause for a few moments to consider a definition
of this term. One definition may he to add up the numlier of hours
we work and sleep and then subtract this numher from twenty-four
hours and we will have the time we are free to do what we choose,
There are some people who do not have any time for leisure and re-
taxation. The majority of people who do not enjoy it may be com-
pared to those who do not have savings or other investments put
away for cultural things or for the proverbial rainy day. This may
be due to the lack of will-power to budget and set aside leisure for
recreational use. But leisure alone is not a blessing. Like money
and other worthwhile things in life, it is the use to which leisure is
put that determines its value. As one critic has said: "That life is
warped and cannot be well-rounded or balanced which does not set
aside by will or by force some time to he dedicated to leisure time
pursuits,"
The definition of living is not so simple. Is it a worthwhile job,
is it serving one's fellow men, is it the market place, at the sick bed,
This yearbook was digitized by volunteers from the
or holding up a high office? Yes, it is all these things and others,
too, for one must have burdens to bear, tasks to perform, heights to
scale or soul and body become soft and leisure, when it does come,
lacks the feeling of hours of freedom which should follow a day's
work well done.
But, again, living must be more than this. Living requires love
for its richest enjoyments, love for mother, for father, for children
and for home; love for Country and for one's fellow men. Living re-
quires deep worship of the Creator of all good and beautiful things
and which matures and passes on to succeeding generations. Li IV is
really lived in our margins of leisure, those hours free from sleep and
toil. The importance of purposeful setting aside and planning for an
intelligent use of leisure time cannot be over emphasized.
Those notions of the school which would fix its aim as the prep-
aration for work rather than for leisure are in contradiction not only
to the meaning of the word school itself but to every sound notion of
education. "Guidance in the right use of leisure is vastly more im-
portant than what is called vocational guidance,** But, you may ask,
how can one use leisure time more wisely by the use of studies and
the school?
Suppose we take the subject of Literature to begin with. Through
this study we become better acquainted with the particularly good
books of the day; hooks that will not only interest us but aid us
by broadening our minds. A book cannot he called good unless the
reader, when he had finished, can sincerely say that he has learned
something that is beneficial. That is what English helps us to do.
It gives us a wider outlook in the field of Literature by showing
us what books will best fit our leisure time. If we are so handi-
capped that we are unable to use travel as a leisure sport, why then,
the next best thing to do is to read about different countries and
not remain entirely ignorant of foreign affairs. Reading brings us
up to a higher level and makes us good and interesting conversa-
tionalists. Thus we see how English can be used to fill those leisure
hours.
Going on through the school we could take the various subjects
one by one and aside from each one's vocational use, I believe we
could also see how they assist us in better filling our leisure time.
But let us, instead, turn to the other side of school life, — the part
that it plays in recreation.
Physical educators are interested in leisure time activities from
the point of view of physical fitness, bodily tone and organic vigor
and so we have our schools equipped with fine gymnasiums. Here

the boys and girls exercise and are taught how to care for their
bodies in such a way as to best benefit from their leisure time, to
pursue their hobbies and to get more enjoyment and restfufness
from life by being active and by participating in the various sports.
Besides the gymnasium we have all out-of-doors sports, such as
track, tennis, baseball in the Spring and football in the Fall.
This problem that we are considering, concerning the part the
school plays in recreation, is not primarily a system of health or edu-
cation or morals. As C. O. Brown, well-known athlete says, "It is
what to do with the student in his leisure time that will, of course,
contribute to his health and his education and his morals, but in the
main will direct his interests to constructive joy instead of destruc-
tive glee and will yield him constructive joy for the balance of his
life/' It is difficult for its today to compete with commercialized
amusements which make such a strong appeal to our people but this
should he done in order that their amusements, in an athletic sense,
may be guided in the right way. This is what the school tries to do.
It wants to give us our start in the business world but it also wants
to show us that the recreational part of life should not be wholly
abandoned but should, on the other hand, play an important part in
our lives.
Therefore, when one stops to consider, it isn't so difficult to see
that the school really prepares us for better use of leisure and living
in the future.
VALEDICTORY
And now comes the time for the class of *31 to bid fare-
well to old Rutland High, the school where we spent the four
happiest years of our lives. But before we go out to make
our own way we want to express our sincere gratitude to all
those who have helped us and worked so faithfully to give us
the right foundation for our various careers. To our parents
who have sacrificed so much in order that we might have a
high school education, to our principal, Mr. Johnson, to our
teachers and to the school board for their help in making such
a course possible we are sincerely gratef ul-
The future is before us. With such a background as
the Rutland High, let us strive to make ourselves worthy of
it, and never be too busy to remember the days we spent
here.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY
Now that we have completed our four years of study with
success, let us look back to that first year when we entered Rutland
High as Freshmen.
As we gathered in front of the old building on that crisp
September morning we certainly were a class of "green horns," un-
acquainted with each other and our new teachers, and for the most
part a bit frightened at the new routine which lay before us, and
which threatened to swallow us up in the everyday life of the school.
However, we soon became accustomed to our new life and easily i fal-
lowed the regular schedule.
Our first social appearance was the Freshman Reception at
which we were amused by the presentation of a "Minstrel Show" un-
der the direction of Mr* Purdy.
Do you remember the first football game and how we memorized
the school yells so as to be able to cheer "our team" to victory? What
a football season! With decisions over Burlington, Spaulding, Fair
Haven, Lyndon and by our defeat of Springfield we were successful
in capturing the title of State Champions,
By December our class was fairly well organized, and we elected
the following officers: President, Royal Geno, vice-president, Dor-
othy Provost, Secretary, Pierre Joly, Treasurer, Almo FranzonL As
chairman of the Class Color Committee, we elected "Nick 1 ' Smith, and
for our colors we chose Green and White, We were represented in
the Literary field by Gladys Hall and Earle Taylor, our well known
poet. As a matter of fact his poem entitled, "The Sophomores" ap-
peared in the first issue of the "Red and White. 1 *
It was during our Freeman year that the first Gills' Field Hockey
tram was organized under the direction of Coach Louise Willis, Of
course, we "freshies" were not allowed to participate in this diversion,
but we did get a great kick out of watching the older girls play the
game.
Our basketball team had a brilliant season. We were runners-
up in the Southern Vermont Tourney, thus entitling us to play in the
State Tournament* By our victory over Cathedral, we coveted the
State title and were rewarded by a trip to Chicago for participation
in the National Tournament there.
The baseball team came through with remarkable success, hav-
ing won notable victories over Springfield, Proctor and other sur-
rounding towns.
Another step taken in Girls' Athletics was the organization of a
Girls 1 Track Team. Many thought this to ire a foolish procedure but

the results was amazing, and the Freshman girls were eligible to join.

to be represented by six members.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY
Far down in an obscure corner of an old trunk I chanced upon
it — a diary worn and frayed, the ink dimmed and Wotted in places,
I glanced idly through it, and then stopped suddenly as my eye
caught the following entry:
September 1928 — returned to- school today — now a full fledged
sophomore!
And straight I fell to musing. What an eventful year that was!
We had mounted a second rung on the ladder of learning and were
another step nearer our goal — which is now all too near-
graduation.
A thrill of pride came over me as 1 recalled our many achieve-
ments, beginning with the part we played in welcoming the incom-
ing Freshman Class. The Reception was held October nineteenth in
the old high school auditorium on Center street and was a gala affair.
It was expected that our class of one hundred and sixty-six
would be the first Sophomore Class to enroll at the new Rutland
High School; it was necessary, however, because of delay in con-
struction, to divide the student body into two groups — the Seniors
and Juniors having half day sessions at Longfellow building and the
Sophomores ami Freshmen at the Melrlon Junior High, It was not
until February 4th that we resumed the full day session in the new
school, Activities were not daunted, nevertheless, by this handicap,
for Coach Purely produced a football Learn that year that met defeat
but once, (lis basketball team was also outstanding, winning thir-
teen out of eighteen scheduled games.
But the boys were not the only ones who starred in athletics.
The girls of our class showed enthusiasm for spoils by taking active
interest in Field Hockey during the fall months and during the winter
in basketball, five girls making the Varsity squad.
It was during our Sophomore year that ice hockey for boys was
introduced into IL II. S- sports. The team under the able coaching
of Mr. McKenzie battled its way to state championship. "Nick"

Smith brought honor to our class by being chosen a member of this
aggressive squad.
Another innovation, and a wry important one, was the Student
Government, whereby we students were given more voice in school
management.
Our new building with its modern audi tori urn afforded us a de-
cided advantage in producing our class play "Julius Caesar," which
brought to light the dramatic ability of several of our classmates.
Harriet Smith, Earle Taylor and Elizabeth McClallen were the
first of our class to be chosen reporters on the school publication
"The Red and White."
In addition to all these activities, the class of :\] was not to be
outdone in the more serious pursuits of our school life. Several
members of the class brought honor to themselves by their scholastic
standing, too, most of whom are now being graduated with honors.
The destines of our class were ably guided by the president,
Royal Geno; vice-president, Dorothy Provost; secretary, Pierre Joly;
and treasurer, Almo Franzoni,
With the coming of spring our coaches developed a baseball and
track team whose records were enviable. Ralph Seeley and Arthur
Dick were chosen members of Rutland High's first tennis team,
which won the state championship.
Our class was greatly honored in this i>opular sport by "Bill"
Tilden, world famous tennis star, who requested a game with Ralph
Seeley while touring through Rutland.
Dances, plays and minor activities helped to make this one of
the most outstanding and enjoyable years of our high school career.
I glanced again at the little diary that had inspired these rem*
iniscences. A whole year had passed in retrospect before my eyes —
a year full of hard work and play. Another chapter had been writ-
ten in our lives, never to be rewritten. I closed the book a bit re-
gretfully, and thought of those solemn lines:
"The moving finger writes,
And having writ, moves on — "
Surely it was fast inscribing the record of our high school years, I
could not help but feel that the record so far had been a worthy one.

Our class contributed to this excellent team, Aurelio Bove, "Bob"
Stanley, Lee Joly t and "Nick" Smith.
Basket! »all was not quite as successful as football but real sports-
manship still predominated over our boys. We won fourteen contests
and lost six. This record won us a place in the Senior Tournament
held at the Rutland Armory. It was here that we showed our ability
by entering the finals only to lose a well fought game to our rivals,
Burlington, by a score of 25-20. How well I remember the game with
Windsor when we broke a world's record by playing four overtime
periods. Ralph Seeley and "Art" Dick held the honors for our class
in this sport*
The 1931 Red and White staff was chosen to carry on the work
of the WJSO staff. The Editor-in-Chief was Sidney Wolk.
Ilnw proud we felt when we were able to wear the school ring
that bore the school insignia. We were always willing to show it to
anyone whether they wanted to see it or not.
In the fall our student prexy was elected. Almo Franzoni, a
well-known member of our class, won by a large majority.
In tennis Ralph Seeley and "Art*' Dick were very successful
Seeley won the state interscholastic single and doubles championship.
Our baseball season was very successful We won ten games and
lost three, "Jimmy" Hannon, "Nick" Smith, and "Bob" Stanley were
the members of our class that did much to win honors for our school
team. It was our pleasure to be present at the dedication of the New

Athletic Field during the first part of our Junior year. This was one
pf the most wonderful advantages rendered to us by the people of
Rutland. Before this we held our sports on St. Peter's field. Girls
participated in many sports but were unsuccessful It was also one of
uur pleasures to have the "trophy ship" or award given to one of our
Junior home rooms for having the greatest amount of points for in-
spection, sports, and assembly programs.
And now comes the most important event dining our Junior
year. Our Prom! It was one of the merriest and most successful
that the school has ever witnessed. It was held on Friday evening,
May 15, 1930. One hundred strutted on the light fantastic toe to
the accompaniment of catchy, captivating strains of Bill Mangan and
His Band, from 8:30 to 11:45. The gym was decorated in green and
white, the class colors. A novel system of lighting effects were pro-
duced to properly illuminate the streamers of green and white artis-
tically and conveniently arranged in booths around the gym, Grace*
ful curves of green and white balloons extended from the comers of
the gym to the center of the gym where they were arranged in the
form of a hugh bunch of grapes. After intermission a cord was pulled
allowing the balloons and confetti to float gracefully about the hall,
giving the impression of an ultra-sophisticated college dance. The
orchestra lent an enchanting effect to the occasion, playing from an
arch of green and white. The patrons and patronesses consisted of
the faculty and many o\' the parents of the Junior class. Much of
this success goes to Elizabeth Mediation and her faithful committee,
"Well, I won't detain you children any longer because I know
you are anxious to be at the dance," The door closed and the grand-
mother with a sweet smile on her face, sinks dreamily back in her
chair,

SENIOR YEAR HISTORY
Our first impulse, when we walked up the familiar stone steps on
the first day of school this Fall, was to greet Mr. Hostler with the old
"Hi Henry," but no, "Good morning Mr. Hostler," was so much more
appropriate. After all we were Seniors and should don the robes of
sophistication and tolerance.
Everyone seemed to realize that a great responsibility had to be
taken over by the Seniors and that we should he an example and a
credit to our school. With this fact fixed firmly in our minds one of
the highest honors was voted to Almo Franzoni when he was elected

Student Prexy. At the first Senior Class meeting the following elec-
tions were made: President, Robert Stanley; vice-president, Mary
Cilrain; secretary. Vera Martin; treasurer, Ralph Seeley.
The "Red and White" Victory Dance after our football triumph
over Mount St Joseph's Academy stalled our social activities and
broke the hum-drum monotony of studying, It was quite a success.
It was followed by the Freshmen Reception, The incoming stu-
dents were most congenial and the dance in their honor seemed to lack
the air of constraint that Freshmen shyness usually presents,
Our football team failed to terrorize Rutland High's opponents
nor did it take all the major games but the usual good sportsmanship
mid clean playing prevailed throughout and everyone felt that a point
had been gained.
Then too, we must not forget the Mardt-Gras which was directed
by the merchants of Rutland. It was successfully carried out with
the aid of the various members of our class and school.
In athletics the girls were not quite as successful as we had hoped.
We lost the Field Hockey Tournament to the Sophomores and the
IJasketball Tournament to the Juniors.
The big event in the Senior year was the play " Kein jyy" and this
year's choice was no exception to the rule. It will be a long time be-
fore we forget Clark Mason's troubles as the head of the Bence fam-
ily, Elizabeth McClallen as the youthful and enthusiastic daughter,
Winston Goddard's first and last appearance as a plumber, John
Thompson, a real "Gogretter" at selling real estate, Gladys Hall and
Bern ice Chapman who helped to complicate Clark's family affairs, and
our own "Duke" Sussman who figured in a million dollar automobile
accident, and last of all, yours truly in the role of **Ma fP Bence who
just wouldn't faint; helped to weave a comical tale of modern family
life. The production was directed by Richard M. Rogers assisted by
the Honorable Judge Harvey R* Kingsley.
An impromptu Tea Dance given by Room 101 for the benefit of
the Unemployment Fund was a complete social and financial success
owing to the backing of the Senior Class.
The Basketball team, athlough it was not exceptional had a good
season captained by Ralph Seeley. Luck seemed to be against the boys
both in the Southern Vermont and the Senior Tournaments but Captain
Seeley won a place on the All-Tournament team and the spirit of '31
made the hoys fight when sometimes things looked black.
In the latter part of December a Christmas Pageant, "No Room
At the Inn/' was presented by room 102 under the direction of Miss

Marie Johnson and Mrs. Jack A- Crowley in observance of the prece-
dent set by the latter in 1929.
One more honor has been granted R, H. S. After only two short
years of existence, our infant school newspaper was awarded second
prize at the contest conducted by the Pi Delta Epsilon journalistic
fraternity at Middlebury College and first honor in the national con-
test for High School newspapers held in New York,
Another event of our Senior year and one of which we are just-
ly proud was our musical comedy, "Pattie." This found the class of
*31 well represented not only in the choruses but also in the cast of
principals, A large portion of the credit for the success of this play
goes to the Alumni who worked hard on the ticket-selling, advertis-
ing, and other various details that are necessary to make such a
production a success.
The dramatic ability of the class has not only been shown in the
Senior Play and 'Tattie," but in several assemblies when playlets have
been given by members of our class.
In January seven more members were elected to the National
Honor Society and at the last assembly in June another third of the
allotment were initiated making a total of nineteen members of the
Senior class and eight members of the Junior class.
In class baseball the Senior girls redeemed themselves by defeat-
ing the Freshmen 18-5, the Sophomores 2U-9, and the Juniors $-5,
thereby claiming the school championship. The new method of
awarding school insignia and numerals which was introduced by Miss
Louise Willis, coach of girls' athletics, was very successful, insignia
being awarded to ten girls and numerals to fourteen.
The Senior boys were not to be outdone by the girls in baseball
and they also defeated the three underclasses and claimed the school
championship.
Robert Stanley, who has been voted All-state Catcher, again
showed his ability in leadership when he piloted the %1 baseball team
through a fairly successful season.
The tennis team which has had only two years of existence led
in this field of athletics by winning four out of five matches.
In track, Dexter Davison held the record for the javelin throw at
the Brattleboro meet while Norman Keith, Clark Mason, Robert Hy~
land and Hall Mattison placed in various events at both the meet at
Hrattleboro and the one at Norwich.

THE A RCHIV E
And thus ends our Senior year. Time has sped swiftly on as
time has a habit of doing. We now become history and the class of
'32 steps into our places and prepares to *• Carry On" with all the
faithfulness for which it is noted.
And with the regrets that we scorned, when our parents and
teachers prophieied, we leave High School to begin the voyage on
life's rough sea.
But before we leave this building, that for so long has been a
second home to us, in behalf of the class of 'SI I wish to express our
appreciation to Mr. Johnson and the faculty who have given us the
best that was in them, and how great that "Best" is! They have
been our friends in the class-room , in social activities, in athletics and
have piloted us over the high waves in the sea of learning. We fully
appreciate their tireless efforts apd know that we will never be able
to fully repay them for what they have given us.
GRADUATION
The rarest gems are seldom found
Kxposed to view upon the ground
They're hidden deep beneath the earth
To gain them, we must prove our worth.
The pennant of fame is won
By those who would not \>e outdone.
The lower levels may appeal
They cannot satisfy true zeal.
Dame fortune favors those who TRY
To reach the goal that's grand and high
The one who gets the proper slant
Will never tell the world, "I CANT,"

CLASS PROPHECY
Ever since I was a little girl with a carrot-colored pig- tail and a
green hair-ribbon swinging down my back, with my eyes lighted up
in glorious anticipation of the daring exploits of Aliee-in-Wonderland,
1 have wanted to have my fortune told by a real gypsy. And now, af-
ter twenty years of eager waiting, my dream had come true.
The gypsy camp lay in the valley, bathed in sunshine, like a
gorgeous, exotic painting. I forgot, for one joyous moment, that 1
was just an ordinary looking person nearing thirty, I was the ad-
venturous heroine of a delightful fairy-tale — and the world belonged
to me,
A gypsy maiden, vivid, sparkling and magnetic as a poem by Amy
Lowell, danced up the green slope to meet me*
"Hello!" I said, Spoken, the greeting sounded woefully prosaic.
One cannot quite imagine saying "Hello" to the goddess, Diana,
The goddess parted her scarlet lips and said.
"Feefty cents, please/*
The charm was broken. I smiled. "And for fifty cents I can have
my fortune told T M
Diana considered a moment. "Um-m. Mehbe two feefty cents,"
A dollar bill introduced me to Madam Carlo, who looked old enough
to be Methuselah's grandmother, a tiny, withered-up person with deep,
penetrating black eyes.
"Are you the fortune-teller?" I asked, loudly, for I thought that
such an ancient little woman might be hard of hearing,
"My ears are plenty good," remarked Madame Carla, in a quavvery
soprano. "You would wake the dead with your yelling,"
I sat down on a three-legged stool within the dimly lighted tent
and clasped my hands about my knees. "I have climbed two hills," I
told Methuselah's grandmother, "crossed a river, and got scratched
on a bramble bush. Now, will you tell me my fortune?"
"Compose yourself," answered Madame Carla, "while I brew the
magic tea."
Soon the little black pot was boiling merrily, and the ancient
gypsy lady poured me out a cup of tea.
"Blow into your cup," she admonished, "until the steam has
gone — and you will see a vision reflected there. Each time you blow
off the steam there will be another picture." *
So I blew into my little cup of tea — and this is what I saw.

My &ip Of tea grew suddenly cool; the vision dimmed before my
eyes. Madame Carta chuckled. And, as suddenly as it had begun, the
amazing interlude was over.
The fortune-teller was no longer an enchantress; she became
simply an ancient, wrinkled gypsy woman, not overclean, dressed in
wretched, grotesque rags. The dimly-lighted tent, I realized for the
tost time, was fragrant with the odor of over-cooked onions. I loathe
the smell of onions; I longed to be back out in the glorious sunshine,
breathing in the mad beauty of the spring day.
I thrust a crumpled bill into Madame * Carta's greasy paw.
Thank you," I said—and was gone.
The sunshine danced in little patterns on the green grass. A
little brook gurgled along beside me. I sat down on a flat rock and
made me a tiny boat out of a bit of bark and my handkerchief. I
launched it upon its tumultous voyage down the mountain-side-and
quoted a little poem by Robert Louis Stevenson :
"Away down the river, ■
A hundred miles or more
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore."
Oh it was a mad, beautiful day! I was glad to be alive. And,
suddenly, an amazing thought entered my mind. I had forgotten to
have my fortune told.

SPORTS REVIEW
During the school year of 1930-31, Rutland High School ath-
letic teams participated in 49 contests, winning 31 and losing 18. in
addition to one tie contest. The track team placed fourth in the
Brattleboro meet and fifth in the State meet at North field.
The 1930 football team was not a success as regards victories
and defeats. It won only three contests and tasted defeat four times.
On two occasions the team flashed form which, if displayed through-
nut the season, would certainly have won the state title for R. II. S,
The gridsters stalled their season with a 34-0 victory over Mount
St Joseph Academy, a very weak team, R. IK S. met its first real
opposition from Bellows Falls which the Red and White team conquer-
ed in a hard fought game by the score of 6-0. Then came the Spauld-
ing game at Barre in which we were defeated though during one
quarter the R, H. S. team displayed an attack which no team in the
state could equal. When the teams took the field for the second half,
Rutland was on the short end of a 6-0 score. The R. H, S. gridsters
took the opening kickoff of the second half and gaining first down
after first down marched straight down the field to the Spaulding six
yard line where they lost the ball on downs. Spaulding punted and
then R. H. S. started another drive which ended on Spaulding's six-
inch line where the granite towners' defense held. This seemed to
break the morale of the team and they lost the game 6-0.
The following Saturday the team dropped another 7-0 decision to
Burlington in a dull and listless contest and on the next Saturday won
32-0 over an unusually weak Lyndon Institute team. AH the fonn
which the team had displayed throughout the season vanished in the
Fair Haven game which the slate towners won by a score of 13-0, And
then like a bolt out of a clear sky, the It IL S. team arose in all its
power and fought on even terms with West Rutland's great eleven
only to go down to a 13-0 defeat in a game which was far closer than
the score would indicate.
While we do not wish to begrudge any of the victories scored ovei
the Red and White gridsters, it is quite obvious that R. IL S, did not
get the breaks of the game and deserved a much better fate than it
received.
With the football season over, the scene shifts indoors to the
basketball court Here we see Coach Purdy build a great machine out
of a squad which included only one veteran.

The team started its season off in a very auspicious manner, win-
ning its first six straight games against scholastic competition. This
string included a 25-14 victory over Proctor, the champions of south-
ern Vermont and decisions over Mount St. Joseph Academy, West Rut-
land, Bennington, Burr and Burton and Bellows Falls.
It was not until Coach Purdy's team ran into "Buck" Hard's Bur-
lington outfit with its famous stalling otfense that it met defeat by
the score of 24-14. This defeat seemed to take a little confidence out
of the Red and White quintet and in their next game, they dropped a
12-9 decision to Springfield and after a win over Mount St. Joseph
proceeded to lose games to Cathedral and Burlington by the scores of
29-10 and 15-10 respectively. Then came the second Cathedral game,
as thiilling a contest as has been seen here in many a year. For three
quarters the Red and White team held the lead by a slender margin,
and then in the last quarter Cathedral overtook the Purdy men only to
be overhauled themselves with seconds to play* With ten seconds to
go "Spike" Mahoney, Bill Hammond's long shot artist, let one go that
cut the twine and gave the Burlington team a 26-22 victory.
The Purdymen finished up their schedule in great style by win-
ning five straight games and consequently entered the Southern Ver-
mont Tournament as the prime favorite only to be defeated in their
first game by a Black River Academy team which was obviously play-
ing "miles over their heads."
In the state senior tournament Rutland entered the semi-finals by
virtue of a 24-30 victory over Springfield only to lose a heart-breaking
contest to Cathedral by the score of 22-20 in a contest similar to the
one described above*
To Coach Purdy must go much credit for producing a team which
was the equal of any in the state with only a single veteran to work
with,
Spring comes and with it baseball, track and tennis.
The baseball team started off like a bunch of world-beaters by
scoring three straight impressive victories over Cathedral, West Rut-
land and Fair Haven but slumped badly to lose decisions to Springfield,
St, Albans, Middlebury and West Rutland, The team then came back
strong to win a game from Springfield by the score of 12 to 11 in eleven
hard fought, hectic innings. After suffering a disastrous and unex-
pected defeat at the hands of Mount St. Joseph Academy by a 10-0
score the team rallied to defeat Fair Haven, 4-1, and Burlington 10-5
in the season's last games.

To the tennis team must go the credit for giving R. H. S, its only
state championship team of the current year. Under the able direc-
tion of Coach Purdy, himself a former Pennsylvania player, the R. H.
S. netmen went through a schedule of matches with only one defeat
and that from the hands of a college freshman team. Their record
contains a four to two victory over the Clark School team which wa,;
the cream of the New Hampshire Prep School outfits.
The track team finished in fourth place at the Brattieboro meet
where one of its members broke the meet javelin record and finished
fifth in the state meet at Norwich.

REMINISCENCES.
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana
June 5« 1935
Dear Art:
In a few days 111 be graduating from college and as I glance at
the titles of the row of hooks over my desk, I just can't help recalling
some of the personages familiar to us hack in itJSH when we were
graduating from dear old Rutland High School.
The first book I see is "Laughing Boy/' and instantly "Bear"
Quigley comes into my mind. You remember him, don't you? lie was
the short, fat, pudgy little fellow who was the class cut-up, Next to
"Laughing Boy" is "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea/ 1 Some*
how this title causes me to recall Sid Wolk.
Next to that I see "So Big" and I can't help thinking of that very
important little man of R. II, S., Johnnie Wood fall. Then I see "The
White Company," and instantly a bird's eye view of one of Dick
Tlayden's gym classes comes into my memory,
"The Sky Pilot" causes me to remember Bob Stanley, the High
School's only Hope. "The Making of an American" recalls the well-
known saxophone player, Veto Petraglia, the Self-Made Man of Rut-
land High School.
Opening "Julius Caesar," I read "Friends, Romans, Countrymen,
lend me your ears," and who could I recall but Jack Thompson, the
scandal sheet of R. 11. S. "Lord Byron of Broadway" and no else but
our own little "Bud" Mattison flashes into my mind. It is really quite
a coincidence that these two books should be side by side, as it is
rumored that the two persons which they remind me of are quite
dose.
"Gulliver's Travels" brings Bob Stafford, the boy who went to
Europe, into my memory. "Trader Horn" recalls Bill Hubbard, the
boy with the fancy haircuts. And "Freckles" recalls— but you know
this one, of course — Red Ilolden, who, it seems to me, was chairman
of our Class Night Committee, four years ago,
"The Three Musketeers" recalls that inseparable trio of our
Senior year. Of course I am referring to Thompson, Smith and Mc-
